Karthik Calling Karthik Hd 1080p Full Movie
Carmel Kittell
am i sensing something strange here btw? 2 films having lead as Karthik and both supposedly good .. well i saw the tami film and it was very good ? though i couldnt make myself like the characterization of Trisha Had what Gautham had intended to show if he had made it perfect would have made my hair stand ?
I really enjoyed watching VTV. The audience reaction was pretty good too, though there was more crowd for the telugu version.. I wish the second half was a little crispier..The period during which Gowtham has to bring in a conflict between the lead pair had a repetitive feeling with earlier scenes/dialogues..The songs were awesome, though there were one too many
VTV was such a refreshing take on love in Tamil films that Im willing to overlook all its problems. Despite choosing a lead pair with very limited potential (Simbu indeed looks like a donnai) GM makes Karthik and Jessie intensely likable and manages to weave an endearing tale. Definitely better than his much-hyped VA.
Samantha shows promise in her brief role and Iam eager to catch YMC.
I agree with you that the subject called for a more abstract treatment, especially in the second half. The subdued, moody first half really worked for me, but the underwhelming denouement was disappointing. And that spoiled my overall experience. All in all, a good film that could have been great!
So what did you think of Simbhus make over, i assume you have seen some of his earlier films (remember you mentioning watching silambattam :P). I thot he was very good and did his part really well. If he concentrates on a bit on his dialogue delivery more he could do really well.
Do you think that he eventually moves on? I think he does. Why else did they write the other girl character into the film? And why does he *insist* that she act in the film? Maybe he feels that she is the closest thing to Jessie?
Lot of self-references here too,just like in Rock on!! Karthik is shown watching Honeymoon Travels,another shower scene that starts off like the shower scene from Rock On!! Deepika being called Shona reminding me of Sona from the other Farhan production,Luck By Chance..
but uncle ebert did not ask that question at all! he said that there are questions, but as in the case of all noir films with a flawed hero(r a hero with a flawed memory) the fim makes complete sense independent of the narrative we are given.
In Eeram , I felt cheated cos after promising to be a murder docu drama, it became a pei padam with graphics.
Another french movie ( I forget the name) I saw at PVR,conjured up enough tension using a missing person and a serial killer but scooby-dooed everything in the end.
Same with Karthik Calling Karthik.
It is during these times,that I feel it is better to leave the mysteries unresolved rather than demystify it all.
I so wanted KCK to be a supernatural thriller after a very promising 1.5 hrs.
They had established the possibilities earlier on as :
A : Schizophrenia
B : Something to with his dead brother
It takes guys to return and say that the answer is A only,although the best answer would ve been an Option C which no one saw it coming.
The possibility of it being Option A was never really negated in the story,maybe thats why nobody jumped at the big reveal.
After the twist,the movie was begging Farhan to go after Deepika with a knife.And I respect Lalwani for choosing not to go down that road.
It gives me immense pleasure to take a moment to thank you all from the bottom of my heart. The extraordinary support let to me by you, including the amazing and honest reviews of my direction, and of Vinnai thaandi Varuvaya as a whole. It warms my heart to even acknowledge the generous accolades you have given me at this point of my career. It has been only your praiseworthy and generous support that has kept my dreams alive and even today instills in me the confidence for my further endeavours. I am now further fuelled to better myself and my films, to keep improving, and I need your continual encouragement for the same. I would love to meet all of you in the near future, in person as a token of respect for being an immense part of my success.
No one is claiming that GVM is better than, say, Mahendran. But I cannot think of another mainstream director who has so consciously pitched a love story at a Tamil audience with complete disregard to the so-called taste of non-urban audiences. And you have to remember that the audience today is not the same audience that existed in the Oru Thalai Raagam days.
Planning to watch VTV this weekend but from the synopsis, this has shades of 500 Days Of Summer starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, a lovely, bittersweet movie that shows the consequences of a romantic (him) falling for a pragmatist(her).
And it had a killer soundtrack too:-)
VTV : short review Sets back the cause of progressive tamil cinema by a couple of decades(to pre bharatiraja days), but what did they really think? they could transplant the french new wave in Tamil nadu without all the modhalais of the industry feasting on fresh flesh?
Re the much discussed heroine , I found her to be a surprisingly normal girl. (hypothetically) if she could have got away with having sex with simbu-karthik, she would have. She was in her zone of comfort and saw no reason to swap the good life for a less-good life.
